Gilles Emery. The Trinity: An Introduction to Catholic Doctrine on the Triune God

Abstract

Anyone who is acquainted with recent developments in Trinitarian theology could scarcely pass over Fr. Gilles Emery, O.P. Beginning with his La Trinité Créatrice (Paris: Vrin, 1995), the Author has produced a series of first-rate works on Aquinas’ Trinitarian theology. Amongst others, there is his Trinity in Aquinas (Ypsilanti: Sapientia, 2003), or more recently The Trinitarian Theology of St. Thomas Aquinas (Oxford: University Press, 2007). There are also his brilliant articles in The Thomist including Essentialism or Personalism in the Treatise on God in Saint Thomas Aquinas (64 (2000): 521-563); The Personal Mode of Trinitarian Action in Saint Thomas Aquinas (69 (2005): 31-77), and Theologia and Dispensatio: The Centrality of the Divine Missions in St. Thomas’ Trinitarian Theology (74 (2010): 515-561).
